Early Years – Daily Home Learning activities

Cumbria Early Years Team have posted a simple daily activity for children and families to try together at home – ‘What can I do today?’ A new activity will be posted each morning on the Children and Families Information Service Facebook page.

It would also be helpful if you could add links to the three useful websites below to help families find more activities to try with their children. The activities are all no cost and can be done with everyday objects that you find around the home:

Home Learning Website Links

• www.purplemash.com Log on to ‘Purple Mash’. Your child’s username and password will be found on the top right hand corner of the purple mash letter that was sent out in planners last week. Once you have logged on successfully, click on the ‘2Dos’ icon on the top of the homepage. Here you will find some resources and activities that have been set to suit your child. Please do just pick and choose which ones you would like to do, do not feel that all of these must be completed.  Also on the Purple Mash – Homepage, you will find many activities that your child may wish to choose from.
